Words that rhyme with Conservation
Conservation belongs to the four-syllable group; its vowel is the short /ษ/, and it lets the nasal carry the tail. The lyric tradition treats it as a concept-anchor. It's a concept-word that wants a concrete rhyme to ground it. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: there's a deep bench of perfect rhymes here, family rhymes come up empty, the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. Take the lyric role separately and it's a concept word. Take the strict matches first; they have more range than the count suggests.

Why conservation rhymes the way it does
Conservation sits on the centred /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 752 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 556, assonance 4,766, and consonance 208. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Conservation rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
